So I’m thinking of bringing this guy (Anson Mount with a Cullen Bohannon/Hell on Wheels look) into
bitethebigapple and am hoping to get some lines filled/ideas before the next round of adds.
He’s name is Landon Wistrow-Beaumont. Born in Mississippi in 1822, he was a plantation owner who won fame during the Civil War before dying during the Battle of Gettysburg. Reborn a vampire, he squandered years in New Orleans’ Red Light District before disappearing into Asia. Ever the soldier Landon fought in both WWI and WWII before joining the underground resistance in Eastern Europe, eventually helping to bring down the Iron Curtain.
So he’s been around, done a lot, travelled a lot and has room for plenty of
violent connections. He’s simply passing through New York on his way to sell his plantation; obviously though I want to find a reason to keep him in NY.
- Perhaps his finds the vampire that made him.
- While he has old money, he’s not one to sit idly by, so maybe he gets employed (holding pen guard/blood farm guard/bodyguard to another vampire or a to a vampire’s favourite pet/something to do with the gladiators etc)
-
Even though it would be frowned upon and go against IC rules, eventually I’d like him to hook up with the human resistance and fight for/with them. I’m looking to kill him off much, much, much, much later in the future - Line wise, he won’t be big on owning slaves, but if he picks up one or two then they’d be treated somewhere between well and just outright being ignored. I wouldn’t be opposed to him having a slave already who’s been travelling with him for the last few years so they could blow into town together. He’d most likely view them as a friend and I’d expect them to be pretty badass.
Anyway, you can check his journal for details though it’s still in a work in progress/needs editing. The basic feel is there though.
